Falling flowers (inerti-colonne) #1, 2025, toilet paper, acrylic resin on found pipe casts made of reinforced concrete, resin and marble dust, aluminium, about 50 x 11.5 x 9 cm each.
Falling Flowers (inerti) narrates fragments of landscapes and suspended architectures — fragile glimpses, like the joyful yet worn floral images, conventional and functional, taken from the decorative patterns of toilet paper.
Starting from the pictorial implications carried by floral ubiquitous and tired images, the series draws parallels between bodies and stereotypical representations of nature, consumerism, inhabiting and becoming ruin.
Falling Flowers (inerti), with its exploration of the intertwinement of meanings and materials, is suspended between the pictorial and the sculptural.
The toilet paper and its decorative blossoms — as pigments — are stratified, becoming surfaces, skins, in dialogue with objecthoods, memories and traces, concrete moulds of empty boxes and construction materials. Screws, wall plugs, and other fastening elements sometimes appear, alongside with domestic remains: both as compositional formal elements and botanical grafts of mechanical hybrid bodies.
The work originates from a personalized process refined by the artist through the study of fresco techniques, tearing, photographic impressions, and the glazing techniques of painting.
